A Further Update To Jelly Wrestling

I asked Jackie at work today, how she pulled up the next day and how many people crashed at her place, because when I left on Saturday night, some people had already passed out on various pieces of furniture.

She told me that Laura ended up in the emergency department of the local hospital for 4 hours the next day. It turns out that she injured her ankle on the bouncy castle when someone tried to drag her off, and is now on crutches! *grin*

I didn't envy her the clean up, considering the dog tracked jelly and dirt into the house, plus jelly would have been all over the back yard from the wrestling match.

Jelly Wrestling Anyone?

I went to a party on Saturday night. It was at Jackie and Shaun's place - the same place as the 21st birthday party I went to last year where they had the bouncy castle.

They hired another bouncy castle again and they also bought a small inflatable pool. Into this pool they put jelly. There wasn't a lot of jelly, just enough to make it very slippery.

Many, many drinks later, Laura tried to push her sister Tina, into the pool. The next thing you know, they are wrestling in the pool. They started scooping jelly up out of the pool and chasing each other around the yard with it. I was sitting in the bouncy castle, out of harms way, or so I thought, but I ended up in the way of some flying jelly! *laughing*

At one point, Laura tried to get away by running into the house, but her mum, Jackie, shut the door on her! They then decided to gang up on their step dad, Shaun, and Tina managed to wrestle him down in the pool and was declared the winner!

It was just after this that I got a text from Ace, wanting to know the address because he couldn't remember it. He'd sent it an hour before but gone home because he couldn't get hold of me. Oops! By that time I'd had a few of the jelly shots that Tina made - boy they were strong! *sheepish grin*

All in all, it was a great night. I can't wait to see what they come up with for the next party!

Bouncy Castles Are Not Just For Children

I attended a workmate's 21st birthday on the weekend. I've been to a couple of their parties and they are always good fun. This year, she decided she wanted to have a bouncy castle.

It was good fun, being the sober and responsible one, watching all these people who were steadily increasing their alcohol consumption, jumping around on the castle. I had said from the beginning that I would not go on, considering I was wearing a skirt (albeit a long one), which I considered a smart move.

Later in the evening, I decided to sit on the bouncy castle as nobody else was on it, so I could sit on it in peace and not have people jumping around. This was all well and good for about 5 minutes. Everybody decided they wanted to get on, which was okay because I was sitting in the middle against the wall in a perfectly safe position, or so I thought...

After some time, everyone on the castle decided they wanted to be on my side. This caused the side I was sitting on to sink, becoming a black hole which you could not get out of and for other people to land on top of you, thus getting tangled legs and bodies. Remember, I was wearing a skirt!

One of the girls trapped next to me ended up with her knees either side of her head, and I was trying to help her but couldn't, because I was weak with laughter. Finally the people evened out to the other side of the castle and I was able to make my escape, never to return.

All in all it was a great night. Especially as I was stone cold sober and everybody else was, er, not. Plus I did not get home until 2.30am which I haven't done in ages.
